Dell today announced its redesigned Vostro laptop line for small businesses, including the new 13.3-inch Vostro 1310 starting at RM3,099 and 15.4-inch Vostro 1510 starting at RM2,599. Products are available for orders today. The company will also offer a redesigned 17-inch Vostro 1710 laptop in mid May.

“Listening to customers and acting quickly on their feedback to improve our products and services sets Dell apart,” said Pang Yee Beng, general manager, Dell Malaysia. “For example, customers told us in a recent global laptop study that data protection and pre-installed security software are, by far, the most important security features.”

Small businesses are increasingly adopting laptops over desktop PCs. Today, half of PC-owning small businesses in the United States own laptops, and the number is expected to grow to almost 57 percent by 2012 , with similar laptop penetration in Western Europe and Japan. To address this shift and provide more choice to customers, Dell plans to expand its laptop product portfolio this year, to deliver the broadest product lineup in the company’s history.
